The Computer Chronicles - Computer Viruses (1/17/1989) danooct1 2012-04-14 | Skip to 0:33 to begin.An interesting look at computer viruses from the popular program The Computer Chronicles from 1989. Some viruses discussed include the Morris Worm, Jerusalem, and a few Macintosh viruses, like Scores. Also examined are a number of antivirus products from the time, and their effectiveness as well as their approaches towards stopping the growing virus menace. They also test a DOS virus on camera. It's like looking at my channel 20 years ago. I figured some of you might enjoy looking back at the history of the antivirus industry, as well as thoughts and opinions from affected users when viruses were still a brand new threat.

Retro-Viral Reviews - Virus Terminator (Cosmi Software, 1992) danooct1 2024-02-24 | the first of (hopefully many) AV and other misc. ancient software demonstrations and battles against computer viruses of their time. let me know what you think!
danooct1s 666th Virus Video Spectacular (Mild flashing lights warning) danooct1 2024-02-12 | this video was originally going to be much more grandiose in scale, but I pared it down because doing three separate recording sessions was already stretching it, and none of them seemed to work quite like I expected in my head.i know technically it's not the 666th *virus* video, but whatever.
Email-Worm.Win32.Navidad (Merry Christmas!) danooct1 2023-12-23 | hope you're having a good day/week/month/year, if not, then I hope this video will provide a temporary respite
Email-Worm.Win32.Alcaul/Virus.MSWord.SecDown danooct1 2023-12-16 | two for the price of one! does this count as two videos? if so I feel another extended vacation coming on
Computer virus...memorabilia? danooct1 2023-12-09 | who knew the market existed to sell merchandise to nerds interested in computer viruses?(it's me, I'm the market)
Email-Worm.Win32.Roron danooct1 2023-12-02 | sorry, the lighting in this video kinda sucks. this worm does a lot of things that either I don't have the current setup to demonstrate, or just flat out didn't happen in this video. I didn't even mention it's supposed to spread to networked PCs via open shares on drives, but it does that too.I'm not super proud of this one, but I hope you like it anyway
Virus.DOS.Sebal danooct1 2023-08-19 | this virus has a lot to teached you, but only if your willing to learn kid
A few MS-DOS viruses on Windows 95 danooct1 2023-08-05 | something a bit different this time. let me know what you like, what you don't like, and what might be cool to see going forward. anything I've covered in the past that you think would benefit from an updated video, or something I didn't cover quite right? just leave a comment.
Virus.MSWord.Veneno danooct1 2023-07-22 | wow hello, welcome back to the channel. my apologies if this video seems long and drawn out - sometimes when I take a long break, it takes me a while to get back into the swing of things.I'm planning on resuming a more regular upload schedule again, but this time it'll be more along the lines of one new virus video per month, then maybe another fun or on-topic but not strictly a virus in-action video biweekly. a new video every other week, I should maybe possibly hopefully be able to manage that sort of pace.if anything, maybe semi-regular videos will help revive this channel and bring it back into favor with the algorithm gods - currently it's about the slowest it's been in over ten years, and beginning to shrink subscriber-wise. I guess that's fairly normal for a channel that began almost 15 years ago and hit its peak 7 years ago, but still it kinda sucks to see the numbers in the red. not that it really matters in the end, it's just cool that people care to see anything that I put out there in the first place.fun fact, this is the first video I've made with my new (to me) Lumix GH5S, hopefully it looks a bit better than previous videos, although there's only so much improvement to be made with pointing a camera directly at an old CRT monitor. at the very least, I can match the 70Hz refresh rate on MS-DOS and avoid the strobe effect.thanks for reading this if you've made it this far. you're very cool, thanks for sticking around and watching the vids.
danooct1 Christmas 2022 Spectacular danooct1 2022-12-24 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1spoiler: not actually spectacular, just kinda neat. a quick idea thrown together at the last minute to publish something mildly entertaining for Christmas.
Virus.Win32.HLLP.Toadie danooct1 2022-12-02 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1sorry if I seem a little scatterbrained throughout this video - this virus threw tons of curveballs at me and by the time I got done recording it I was more than ready to be finished. the file I never ended up finding was a log file that the virus keeps of every file and its directory listing that it infects.This is also my first time using YouTube's auto generated captions to form the basis of the subtitles - if you don't like the way it's structured, or the flow, or anything else, please let me know. I went through them all and added proper punctuation and my personal flare, but it might not be as good as some of the older videos. Feedback is appreciated.
Virus.MSWord.Outlaw danooct1 2022-11-24 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it, and even if you don't. I'm thankful you've all stuck around.

Worm.SymbOS.Cabir danooct1 2022-05-06 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1behold the world's first mobile phone worm...which doesn't do too much, but it has the honor of being the first.
Trojan.VBS.Jesus danooct1 2022-04-29 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1one of my alarms actually went off in the middle of recording this, kudos to you if you can point out when that happens with a timestamp.
Virus.MSWord.Hubad danooct1 2022-04-22 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1thanks for your support and concern for my cat Buster last week - he's doing just fine. also I changed pronunciation of this virus's name midway through the video because I kept forgetting the name and how I said it.
Virus.Win16.Tentacle on Windows 98 danooct1 2022-04-15 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1hopefully you enjoy the short video, I'll try and get back to a regular-style video next week

Email-Worm.Win32.Vote danooct1 2022-04-01 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1please pardon the email worm that actually fails to be an email worm. at least the rest of it is somewhat entertaining.
Virus.Win32.Kaze danooct1 2022-03-25 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1a virus so lethal it destroys itself before it ever has a chance to do any real damage.
Trojan.SymbOS.BootTon/OneHop danooct1 2022-03-18 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1I had actually forgotten I'd made a video on this like twelve years ago, but at least this one has more info. there's not a whole lot of Symbian OS malware out there, but I do plan to cover it as completely as I can.
Virus.MSExcel.Sugar danooct1 2022-03-11 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1this is what happens when you start drinking warm soda. stay safe, friends.
Virus.DOS.Datacrime danooct1 2022-03-04 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1the DATACRIME II virus is a very SERIOUS THREAT that will ANNIHILATE YOUR COMPUTER AND MANKIND AS WE KNOW IT, but actually it probably won't, for eyewitness news I'm danooct1.youtube source of news footage: youtube.com/watch?v=LZYIjzFqDxo
Virus.Win16.Tentacle danooct1 2022-02-25 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1I'd recommend watching with headphones to get the full "hard drive clicking" sound experience, but that's up to you.This virus has a few surprises, and I wasn't even going to go through with recording it until I realized that it actually did change the icons successfully, but you have to open them up in the icon viewer to see it.
Virus.Win9x.Caw danooct1 2022-02-18 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1This virus was one of the most obnoxious ones I've ever tried to record for a video. This is the result of my descent into madness versus Caw.this is one of the first videos where I really tried tweaking and adjusting the color balances throughout. For whatever reason, the Red Blocks background looked great on the phone camera and when I recorded it, but whenever I played it back on my PC the blocks were pale shades of orange instead of the vibrant reds they should be. Hopefully I didn't screw it all up. If you actually read this, give yourself a pat on the back, you rock.
Email-Worm.VBS.AnnaKournikova danooct1 2022-02-11 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1the long awaited "review" of the AnnaKournikova worm in action. It spread globally 21 years ago on February 11th, 2001, and led to the arrest and eventual community service sentence for then-20 year old Jan de Wit, who released the worm after creating it with a Visual Basic worm generator.I know it's a little anachronistic to be using Windows XP for this video, but hey, it still works doesn't it?also, I apologize for my noob VBS skills failing to kill Windows XP, however I feel that just adds to the whole aesthetic of being a completely terrible malware author who doesn't test his creation prior to unleashing it upon the world.
Trojan.MSWord.Tractor danooct1 2022-02-04 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1i want to get off furious tractor driver's wild ride

Trojan.VBS.Hold danooct1 2022-01-21 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1has it really been over four years since the last time I made a video using Windows XP? time flies, I had no idea it had been so long. Enjoy the warm fuzzy memories of XP on a CRT monitor
Virus.MSWord.Ethan danooct1 2022-01-13 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1what would a virus warning about the year 2038 bug say? I envision a lot of memes.

Virus.DOS.BigJoke danooct1 2021-12-10 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1this virus's name gives an apt summary of growth potential of this channel
Virus.DOS.Pieces danooct1 2021-12-03 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1More discerning viewers will notice that DOSKEY is a COM file, not an EXE, and thus executing it/expecting it to do anything related to an EXE infecting virus is an effort in futility. That's what I get for assuming it gets infected without actually checking the extension/file size. Let that be an important lesson to all of you - like the old saying goes, if you assume, then you don't get your computer infected by a virus that threatens to cut you into little pieces. Or something, I don't know.
Virus.VBS.Sling danooct1 2021-10-22 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1An endless string of message boxes that prolong the virus payload? Now all I need is 10 sponsorships, an obnoxious intro and outro, some obvious product placement, and a bunch of thumbnails of me making an absurd face. Then I'll finally be the best YouTuber I can be.
Virus.DOS.Creeper danooct1 2021-09-24 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1i am the dan man, catch me when you can
Email-Worm.Win32.Yanker danooct1 2021-03-10 | http://www.twitter.com/danooct1This required a couple reinstalls and re-takes to get everything to work mostly fine, and even then the worm did what it wanted to do anyway, so this is what you get.
